Hundreds of residents in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, led by the Regional branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Ashanti Regional Parliamentary Caucus are currently marching through streets of the city.
The demonstration, dubbed “Ya y3 den” demonstration is to register the party’s displeasure over what they describe as unbearable hardship in the region.
According to Citi News“most of the demonstrators wore black and red attire, while others also carried placards with the inscription ‘Ghana abr3’, ‘Stop the suffering’, ‘Asante’s are suffering’ among others.”
Shops in the central business district had been closed down, adding that passengers at the various bus terminals had been left stranded because commercial drivers in the city had joined in the demonstration.
